Sometimes,

A bad day is just a bad day.

We all have them now and then.

A bad day doesn't mean I'm a bad person.

I haven't lost the learning and growing I have worked so hard on.

A bad day does not erase all of who I am.

A bad day doesn't mean that I am now falling into the abyss.

It doesn't mean tomorrow will also be bad.

This is not catastrophic.

It's okay to stay in bed,

Not get my errands done,

Or to order fast food.

None of these things will end the world.

These are normal things people do all the time.

It's okay if I need to cancel my plans.

I can choose to watch TV and eat cheesecake or whatever it is I want to do.

It truly doesn't matter in the best way.

My productivity does not define my worth.

All emotions are okay.

I don't need to judge how I feel.

I know that bad days don't last forever.

Very soon,

I will feel something different.

I believe in the future and my place in it.
